-'''''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island''''' (sometimes referred to simply as '''''Yoshi's Island''''') is a 2D [[Genre#Platform|platform]] game for the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]], developed by [[Nintendo Entertainment Analysis and Development|Nintendo EAD]]. The game is the prequel to ''[[Super Mario World]]'' and it stars [[Yoshi]] and the [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi clan]] who, while carrying [[baby Mario]], travel across [[Yoshi's Island (location)|Yoshi's Island]] to rescue [[baby Luigi]] from [[baby Bowser]] and his [[Magikoopa]] minion/caretaker, [[Kamek]]. Instead of relying on jumping and a power-up system for combat as in the traditional ''Super Mario'' platformers, Yoshis use their tongue and eggs to overcome obstacles, as well as the introduction of many other different mechanics. The game is notable for introducing a time-based health system rather than hit points, an anomaly to what many platform games typically did in this game's time period. Rather than relying on powerful pre-rendered graphics as its contemporary, ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'', did, ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' employs a very distinct, stylized arts and crafts style to stand on its own. The game makes use of the Super FX2 graphics chip (one of only four commercially-released SNES games to do so), which allows for larger, more detailed sprites and more advanced effects that emulate 3D space.

The game is notable for introducing a time-based health system rather than hit points, an anomaly to what many platform games typically did in this game's time period. Rather than relying on powerful pre-rendered graphics just like its contemporary ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'', ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' employs a very distinct, stylized arts and crafts style to stand on its own. The game makes use of the Super FX2 graphics chip (one of only four commercially-released SNES games to do so), which allows for larger, more detailed sprites and more advanced effects that emulate 3D space.
+Although ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' was not as financially successful as its predecessor, the game's highly positive reception and unique style has spawned [[Yoshi's Island (series)|a new series]] of platform games from the ''[[Yoshi (franchise)|Yoshi]]'' franchise, although it is the fourth entry overall. The game has received various adaptations into manga, such as receiving volumes dedicated to it in the ''[[Super Mario-kun]]'' and [[Super Mario (Kodansha manga)|Kodansha's ''Super Mario'' manga series]] and extensive [[List of merchandise|merchandising]]. This is the only ''Yoshi's Island'' game to be released on a home console. The game has received a [[Reissue#Remakes|remake]] on the [[Game Boy Advance]], ''[[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3]]'', which was released on [[Virtual Console#Nintendo 3DS|Virtual Console]] for the [[Nintendo 3DS]] (with owners applicable for the [[Virtual Console#Nintendo 3DS Ambassador Program|Nintendo 3DS Ambassador Program]] being able to download the game for free) and [[Wii U]]. The original SNES version of ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' is included on the [[Classics#Super NES Classic Edition|SNES Classic Edition]], and although it was never announced for release on Virtual Console on any other system, it is one of the 20 launch titles for [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System - Nintendo Switch Online]] on the [[Nintendo Switch]]. A sequel, ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'', was released in 2006 for the [[Nintendo DS]]. In 2014, the [[Nintendo 3DS]] game ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]'' continues the story told from the first game.

-''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' introduces the concept of time-based health, a mechanic that is reused in future ''Yoshi's Island'' games. When the Yoshi comes into contact with an enemy, baby Mario becomes separated from Yoshi, encased in a bubble and floating around in the air. While baby Mario is in this state, a [[Countdown Timer]] appears, counting down in seconds until it reaches zero, in which time Yoshi must recover baby Mario or Kamek's [[Toady|Toadies]] take baby Mario, and the player loses a life. The Timer starts at ten seconds at the beginning of each level, and can be increased to a maximum of thirty by collecting [[Star (Yoshi's Island series)|Star]]s, using [[10-Point Star|10 Point Star]]s and [[20-Point Star|20 Point Star]]s, and entering [[Checkpoint Ring|Middle Ring]]s. If the Timer falls below ten, it increases back up to ten slowly after recovering baby Mario. Entering a Middle Ring also marks the point where the Yoshi can continue from if it loses a life. Other ways Yoshis can lose lives are if they touch spikes or thorns, if they fall off a cliff, if they touch lava, if they get eaten by a Lunge Fish, or if they get crushed by moving platforms. In these cases, Yoshi's death is shown onscreen, either by spinning and collapsing or flying offscreen.

 There are six worlds in this game, and each world has nine levels total. The objective of each level is to reach the [[Goal Ring]] roulette. There are ten spots on the roulette, and five of the spots can be made winning spots by collecting the five [[Smiley Flower|Special Flower]]s in each level. Landing on one of the flower points allows the player to play a [[Bonus Challenge]]. These Bonus Challenge allow Yoshis to either gain lives or [[Special Item (Yoshi's Island series)|Special Item]]s for use in levels. Two levels in each world are forts and castles, and the goal in those levels is to reach and defeat the eponymous boss that resides in those establishments rather than reach a Goal Ring. Most bosses are regular enemies that are enlarged by Kamek prior to the fight, with a few exceptions.

 The setting of the game takes place on [[Yoshi's Island (location)|Yoshi's Island]], which is the first world setting of ''Super Mario World''. The island portrayed in ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'', however, is much larger in scale and comes with a larger variety of biomes and characters endemic to the island as players progress through the game. The game contains six worlds with eight regular levels each, retaining the eight level per world structure first normalized by ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', having a consistent amount of levels per world, and every fourth and eighth level of the world features a boss fight against an enemy enlarged by Kamek. All worlds have particular themed biomes, such as [[World 1 (Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island)|World 1]] having a grasslands while [[World 6 (Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island)|World 6]] has a stronger theme around caverns and lava as the player closer approaches [[King Bowser's Castle]]; this theming of levels has been carried in further entries of the ''Yoshi's Island'' series. Unlike ''Super Mario World'', ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' does not employ use of a world map and relies on a level select screen, which is represented by color-coded folders containing icons that preview the levels, and these levels are named after their features than rather than using generic numbered identifies, such as the third level of World 3 being called [[Nep-Enut's Domain]] rather simply being called World 3-3. One notable aspect of the level icons is that all Yoshis in their previews are Green Yoshis, despite Green Yoshis being used only in the first levels of each world, the Extra levels and King Bowser's Castle. While most levels have players moving on their own accord, a few levels are autoscrollers, with the first one being encountered in [[Hop! Hop! Donut Lifts]] in World 1.

 According to Shigeru Miyamoto, the marketing department at Nintendo wanted him to use pre-rendered 3D sprites like in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' for the game, rather than stylized 2D sprites. Additionally, found in the game's data are several sprites that go unused, such as several ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'' sprites and three unused Yoshi forms.

 ==Version differences==
 {{see also|tcrf:Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island/Version Differences}}
-Two versions of this game are known to exist for the North American release. The easiest way to tell the difference is font face by hitting a [[Message Block]].
+Later versions of the Japanese release pluralize the collectables in the score screen and alter the number of dots that connect each term to its respective counter. The line in the Red Coin counter is increased by one dot, while the line in the total score counter is decreased to account for the pluralization of "Total Point."
-In the Japanese release of the game, later versions pluralize the collectibles in the score screen, altering the line of dots that come after the words.
+===Regional differences===
+*This is the first ''Super Mario'' game with French and German localizations, and the only SNES ''Super Mario'' game to have these. (''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars|Super Mario RPG]]'', the lone SNES ''Super Mario'' game released later, was not localized for PAL regions, therefore no such translations were written.) Accordingly, the PAL release gives the player the option to select a language at the start of the game.
+*The title screen in the Japanese version of the game is rendered in katakana. International versions replace this with a new logo written in English.
+*The European release omits the ® symbol from the ''Super Mario World 2'' prefix on the title logo.
+*In the map selection screen, the thumbnail tiles for the extra levels in the Japanese versions of the game are a red and orange background. They are also called "Special" stages.
+*In the Japanese release, the thumbnails for extra and bonus stages consist of stylized katakana logos; the extra stages all read スペシャル ("Special") and are suffixed by the world number, while the bonus stages each list the name of their respective bonus game. In international releases, the extra stage thumbnails depict a numbered star with "EXTRA" written below, while the bonus stage thumbnails depict a numbered Special Flower with "BONUS" written below.
+*The score thumbnail in international versions of the game has a completely different sprite than Japanese versions of the game, depicting a pencil drawing a line rather than a pencil writing "100" on an index card. The SNES controller in the North American version of the game also has its buttons changed to purple, though the control options menu retains the multicolor buttons seen on the Super Famicom and European SNES.
+*The thumbnail for the [[Popping Balloons]] Mini Battle is slightly tweaked in international versions of the game, rounding the balloon down at the edges of the thumbnail and increasing the size of Yoshi's hands.
+*The thumbnail for World 4-6: [[Lake Shore Paradise]] has a slightly altered Flopsy Fish in international versions of the game, featuring larger and more angular pectoral fins.
+*In the European version, as well as US Revision 1.1, the font is much thicker than in the Japanese version, though graphics such as controller buttons were left the same. This thicker font was later used in all versions of ''Yoshi's Island : Super Mario Advance 3''.
